Getting It Right (BOOK THREE)

Chapter 17

When they pull up to Sevyn's house she turns in the backseat and grabs her bags from the mall. She unlocks the door to get out, but Jackson locks it back with the control panel on his side. She rolls her eyes and unlocks it again just for him to re-lock it. Her eyes cut over to him. "Stop playing with me." She says in a monotone voice. He just smirks and watches her unlock the door and quickly try to open it, but he pushes the button and locks it again.

"What the hell Jackson?" She huffs whipping her head around to glare at him. "Are you trying to aggravate me more?"

"Nah lets just talk first."

"There's nothing to talk about. Why don't you go talk Taylor, you've obviously been doing a lot of that lately." Her eyes are narrowed as she stares at him and he leans his head against the window.

"Sevyn it's not even like that." He sighs.

She crosses her arms tightly and tilts her head to the side. "Oh really? Then clarify why you let me make a fool of myself in front of Taylor. She came at me full swing and you didn't say anything. You let her dog me while you sat back and stared at her. So please humor me and tell me that this isn't what it seems like. Or do I have to go to Taylor for an explanation?"

Jackson rubs his face as he gets his thoughts together. It's very rare that Sevyn is extremely mad at him, and when she is, it's scary. "I admit that I shouldn't have let Taylor do that to you, but I didn't think you cared. I told you time and time again that the only thing that matters is me and you. Taylor likes to cause drama."

"And you entertain it!" Sevyn points out angrily. "You tell me not to worry about her yet you're calling her and discussing our sex life behind my back?"

Jackson snorts, "What sex life?"

Sevyn's eyes blaze furiously and she bangs on the door with her fist. "Unlock my damn door. Let me out of this stupid car."

"Wasn't stupid when your were driving it." He snaps back.

"Open the door!" Her voice rises even louder. "I'm serious Jackson."

"No, just talk to me."

"I don't want to talk to you. Call Taylor! I'm sure she's more than happy to discuss our relationship." She pulls at the handle of the door but its still locked.

Jackson watches her struggle. "Are you mad that I've been talking to her or the topic we've been discussing?"

"Both," She says staring straight out the window. "You shouldn't be talking to her period."

"You talk to Keenan."

Sevyn turns around so quickly she almost gets whiplash. "That's completely different. Keenan has a girlfriend and a child, he's moved on from me. He respects me and the most we discuss is how our lives are going. Taylor is an attention whore who meddles in people's lives." Her eyes are locked on Jackson's as she tries to keep her voice steady. "And you're an ass hole."

"I'm an ass hole!?" Jackson exclaims. "I've been here for you through everything Sevyn. I made one mistake but you're acting like I slept with the girl."

"How do I know you didn't?" She responds flatly looking away from him. "'Since I'm not giving up the cookie.'" Her voice mocks Taylor's.

Jackson's silent for a moment then responds. "Good question, maybe you should asks Taylor."

Sevyn's mouth drops slightly and she glances at him out the corner of her eye, he's staring straight ahead and gripping the steering wheel. She unlocks the door again and this time he doesn't lock it back. She climbs out the car and slams the door shut, then storms up the walkway to her house. As she gets her keys out her pocket, she hears Jackson drive off down the street.
